Commission File No. 0-18267 Form 12b-25 Part III The registrant completed two transactions on November 14 and 15, 1995, that will have a material effect on the financial condition of the registrant. On November 14, 1995 the registrant received approximately $3.3 in cash from the private placement of 4,800,000 shares common stock. On November 15, 1995, the registrant completed a restructuring of one of its major joint ventures, which will reduce the liabilities of the registrant by approximately $2.4 million and provide revenue of approximately $3.3 million in the fourth quarter of 1995 consisting of $0.3 million in cash, the elimination of a $2.4 million obligation to fund future development work and the receipt of 1,110,083 shares of the registrant's common stock which it issued to an affiliate of the co-venturer in December 1993. The registrant believes that filing Form 10Q without including the above transactions could be misleading regarding its current financial position. Because of the closing dates of the two transactions, the registrant is unable to file Form 10Q on November 14, 1995. Part IV(3) The registrant expects to report in the Form 10Q to which this notification relates that its total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, including technology licensing fees, product sales and engineering and development services was $6.48 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 8% over the same period last year. The registrant expects to report a net loss of $4.80 million for the first nine months of 1995, of which $2.33 million related to the third quarter, compared to a net loss of $14.47 million for the first nine months of 1994, of which $5.98 million related to the third quarter, and total revenue for the third quarter of 1995 of $1.12 million compared to $2.66 million for the third quarter of 1994, a decrease of $1.54 million. The registrant also expects to report that total expenses had decreased by $9.17 million or 45% for the first nine months of 1995, reflecting the continuing results of the cost reduction plan adopted in December 1994.
